So, this is great! Any chance someone will actually sell those shells for the ones who don't have access to a 3D printer?

And, Simon, why use the old screw based design to hold the two halves together? Wouldn't it be possible to make something that doesn't use screws, as the most modern hoppers are doing? Or at least have the top of the shell come out without tools for an easier cleaning?

Anyways, I'm definitely in for one!

theres a few places online you can send the docs provided to and they will send a quote and make it.

I have to say, that's a pretty good suggestion for an upgraded version.

If there were enough people interested, what I would do is 3-d print a negative mold to pour silicone into and make silicone molds, then cast them as urethane. Amortize the cost of the 3-d print across interested parties.

Interesting. I have some experience with that stuff. The problem is that the final product might be fragile?
